Chapter 15: (2)
And for some reason, the skeleton spoke in a samurai-like tone. The winged beauty was chasing after it with her sword laid bare. Seeing the scene, Tanaka stood there dumbfounded. As his body shook and trembled not from excitement, Tanaka squeezed out his words.
There are so many things I want to retort about, but first of all give it back! Give me back my heartthrobs from a moment ago!
Tanaka howled to the heavens. In response to Tanakas shout, the skeleton turned its attention towards him.
Oh! What a coincidence to meet you in a place like this-degozaru! By any means, please save me-degozaru!
The skeleton made a beeline toward Tanaka in joy. It also didnt fail to bring along the winged beauty whose sword was at ready in her hand. Seeing the two coming towards his way, Tanaka fell into panic.
Whoa! Stay away from me! Why are you the one being pursued anyway?! Its usually the other way around!
I dont know-degozaru! She suddenly came attacking me out of nowhere-degozaru!
The thoughts of leaving them alone and running away did cross Tanakas mind. However, he felt sorry for the skeleton, who was desperately seeking for his help, so he decided to try mediating them for the time being.
Please calm down a bit, Miss. How about calming down first, and then. Whoa!
The winged beauty suddenly attacked Tanaka, too. Tanaka pulled out his sword in reflexes and deflected her attack. The skeleton immediately positioned itself behind Tanaka, and used him as a shield.
You fool! Dont frigging use me as your shield! Thats why youve always been a skeleton!
Tanaka complained to the skeleton behind him while defending against the attack from the winged beauty. He was in panic, so the content of what he was saying was somewhat incoherent.
I was born just a while ago-degozaru.
The skeleton responded to Tanaka calmly, perhaps feeling a little relieved since it now had Tanaka as its shield. Naturally, it continued to keep its position behind Tanaka.
What?! You were just born, you say? As expected, the babies of this world are all monsters, after all. Or rather, stop using me as your shield damnit!
Tanaka was once again reminded of the horror of otherworld babies. At the same time, however, he also continued to deflect the attacks that were coming at him from the winged beauty. For the time being, Tanaka thought about putting a stop to the fight first. So he decided to appeal to the winged beauty that he was not an enemy.
Miss! Hey, calm down a bit! I get it! I get it, alright! Its that right? Youre pissed off at being called a generationalist, arent you? This uncle understands, alright! You youngsters arent at fault! I totally understand that its all the fault of those adults, whose heads are filled with nothing but flower bed, who introduced this generationalism thing, alright!
Tanaka desperately tried to persuade the winged beauty, but she turned a deaf ear to his words.
I see. Then from now on your name is Suke.
While still lying down on the ground, Tanaka casually gave it a name.
Ho, its a pretty good name-degozaru. I like it-degozaru.
The skeleton seemed to really like the name Tanaka had randomly given it. It appeared to be quite a good-natured skeleton.
Yeah, its the abbreviation of the skeleton that I get to see instead of the sketchy beauty.
Tanaka, who failed to read the mood, revealed the origin of the name to the honestly happy skeleton.
Thats cruel-degozaru! Id like you to keep the origin of the name to yourself-degozaru!
The skeleton began to desperately complain to Tanaka about it. However, it seemed to be really fond of the name as it didnt ask him to give it another name.
Yeah, got it alright, now calm down a bit. Im currently on my way to Nanashi town, which is further north from here. Thats why, for the time being, lets head to the town first, Suke-san.
Thus, Tanaka obtained a partner and resumed heading to the Nanashi town.
